What treatments, training and products can I come into the suite for, to boost to my immune system?
We are staying open for as long as possible during the coronavirus crisis, as we are a care centre. We offer treatments to boost your immune system, balance stressed hormones and stay cleansed - all massages boost circulation, the immune system, improve sleep and your body's natural recovery from daily damaged cells, our body scrubs cleanse skin, essential oils boost the immune system, are anti-bacterial and anti-stress, and we also offer hormone balancing holistic therapies such as Reflexology, Reiki, and Emotional Freedom Technique which can reduce cortisol which surpresses your immune system response. Be healthy to yourself.
Massages
All massages boost blood circulation, on which the immune system/lymphatic system depends, to be effective in moving infections such as bacteria, foreign bodies and toxins through the body for breaking down and disposal through lymph nodes, sweating and number 1s and 2s.
Massages also improve your levels of serotonin and endorphins which make you feel better, improve your mood and relaxation. This associated reduction in cortisol (the anxiety and stress hormone) aid your ability to fight infection.
Combine your massage with heat, such as a Hot Stone Massage, or Heated Herbal Compress massage, such as a Thai Steamed Compress or Indian sizzling Kizhi, and the heat will further increase your relaxation of mind and body.
Massage sets your body into its parasympathethic mode - when your body's natural recovery from daily damaged cells happens, so you are reviving, restoring and maintaining healthy metabolic cells.
Essential Oils
Essential Oils boost the immune system, are anti-bacterial and anti-stress, helping uou emotionally, metabolically, and physically against stress. Turmuric, Garlic, Clove, Lavender, Rosemary, Cypress, Ginger, Cardamom, Lemon, Clary-sage, Chamomile, Geranium, Grapefruit, Marajoram, Bergamot, Vetivert, Thyme and CBD Oil, are all good examples of such essential oils.
Essential Oils can be bought in the suite, or used in a treatment such as Aromatherapy Massage, Balinese Massage and Lomi Lomi Massage. You can have an OOH! Organic Oils for Health Consultation for a thorough consideration and undertanding of blending them and using them at home. I also offer online courses in Using Pre-Blended Aromatherapy Oils and training in Blending Your Own Aromatherapy Oils.
They can be used in cooking, on your pillow, in perfumes and cosmetics, baths, candles, and oil burners, lightbulbs or wood logs for fires.
Well-Being Holistic Treatments
Body Scrubs, such as brushes, shower buffs, grain-based and salt-crytal based exfoliators, help slough off the top layers of dead skin that naturally accumlate as skin grows from the inside out and takes approximately one month from start to finish. These cleanse the skin, open pores and provide much smoother skin that can function much easier, releasing toxins much more effectively. These can be combined with a massage, eg a Kizhi Skin Conditioning Treatment, or provided before you have hydrating moisturising massage.
Hormone balancing holistic therapies such as Reflexology, Meditations, Shirodhara, Reiki, and Emotional Freedom Technique can reduce cortisol which surpresses your immune system response, making you calmer, and better able to cope with the stresses of the new dangers of the viral crisis, emotional instability and physical stresses. A calmer mind helps you phyiscally able to fight infection and sleep better.
My Detox Programme Signature Package helps improve immune system respone by getting you to eat, drink and use less toxins in your body, home and workplace. The programme also increases the amount of good food, drink and other substances that get into your body and help to reduce the levels of these toxins in your body. So, we tackle immunity boost in two ways.
